Nice well laid out instructions. However, my download stopped at 0%. One time it appeared to have been downloaded and asked to hook up the Aircraft, then nothing happened on aircraft start up.

This is possibly the most convoluted way to update a quad ever invented and is going to cost DJI dearly! Still can't get mine to work despite 2 hours of work ... and that does not include searching out and finding and working with the info on THIS PAGE. I have 32 years of technical Mac experience, and have flown drones starting back with MicroKopters in 2009. IF I AM THIS MIFFED, how does DJI expect others — inexperienced with the hassles of updating these integrated RC/Aircraft/SmartPhone-Tablet Firmware/Software systems — to handle this and buy their gear? This is a really bad move!

same here on windows, assistant sits show a messages about inspire not a clue anywhere how to proceed. tablets can't get past 20% and craft is tossing sensor errors. was just returned and has three flights since. Also why can't I change the craft name attached to records? hours without results.
and if it crashes i'll some how be at fault.. please DJI where is a simple download from your site??
not able to get one via app..grrrr

Hi guys,

Trying to do the update but I'm afraid I lost the little adapter to link the drone to the device cord, is there anywhere I could purchase a new one from ?

Thank you !

Me again, I tried to do the firmware from my computer, so I downloaded the  assistant app, linked my drone with a USB - micro usb cable, but I get a " firmware update failed " after few minutes..."

Any idea ?

1.1 Turn ON the RC (with the BIN method on the SD card, the RC had to be turned OFF so many people do the same)
1.2 Turn ON the quad

Stress, you said it! I'm still waiting...

Am I missing something here?  I have a Phantom 4.  You say:  Download DJI GO 2.7 ( or upgrade to it)
I run the drone on DJI GO 4 using a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2  8".
After a bit of grief with earlier updates, I've finally got it all working fine - with WiFi in flight mode ie,OFF
from 4 to 2.7 looks like a DOWNgrade to me ???

The bit that you've missed is that the first post was made on 15th March 2016, at that time DJI Go 2.7 would have been the most current version of the App'. DJI Go 4 only appeared and became relevant to the P4 series with the introduction of the P4 Pro, Mavic & Inspire 2.

DJI really ought to go back and edit/update this post.

These instructions were posted back in 2016, when the DJI GO application was at 2.7 Such is no longer used with the Phantom 4. Instead, the DJI GO 4 application is what is used now.

I have a Phantom 4
I have updated with DJI Go app for the newest version of firmare. I am not sure that this update was completely done, because when I go to “about” in DJI GO, it shows:
App _ 4.3.25,
Aircraft _“check for update”
RC _ 1.9.3
PFSD (App) _ 01.00.01.16
BFSD _ 01.00.01.09.
When I try to check Aircraft Version, it takes too much time more than one hour but nothing.

Now there is no video image in dji go (it says : NO IMAGE TRANSMISSION)
i tried to upgrade by DJI Assistant 2, it starts downloading until 99% and failed?
when i turn the plane off the battery stars to blink red for 10 sec and only turning aff after it
This was not lake this before the update.
My RC, my cables are all good. I tested them with an other similar drone P4.
My P4 can take off, go to mission do it and land, but I can not see images on the android screen. I tried with an Iphone but the screen stay always black.
please help
